Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has issued an emotional apology top fans after his side’s display in their humiliating loss to Tottenham.
The Red Devils were humbled as former manager Jose Mourinho’s side cruised to a 6-1 win at Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty after one minute but defensive errors saw Tanguy Ndombele and Son Heung-Min secure the lead by 10 minutes.
After a red card for Anthony Martial, Harry Kane slotted into an open net while Son grabbed a second before half time.
United failed to turn it around after the break with Serge Aurier driving a fifth in before Spurs’ captain slotted from the penalty spot.
The result has seen pundits such as club legend Patrice Evra lay into the side for their performance as well as lack of spending this summer.
But Rashford used social media to make a heartfelt apology to the United faithful
Writing on his Twitter channel, the United forward said: “First and foremost I’m a United fan.
“This is my club. I’m so proud to wear this shirt but there are no excuses, it’s just not good enough and to every single fan around the world that tuned in today, I’m just so sorry.
“You deserve so much better than that. I would have stayed away from social media tonight but you deserve to hear from me during the highs and lows, there is no hiding.
“I feel horrible but I promise you we will do better.”
Rashford is not the only United player to speak out since the full-time whistle, with defender Luke Shaw making an honest admission in his post-match interview.
He told Sky Sports: “It really hurts. A club like Manchester United shouldn't be losing. Shouldn't be losing in this way. It really hurts.
"It's embarrassing and we've let a lot of people down who are watching at home. We've let ourselves down and the staff down.
"We need to look in the mirror, we are nowhere near it at the moment.”
